The Grumblor.

HIS YOUTH.
His cap was too thick, and his coat vas TOO
thin,
He couldn't be quiet; he hated . din;
He hated to write, and he hated 70 read:
He was certainly very much injured indeedi
He must study and toll, over work he detssted;
His parents were strict and he never was
rested;
He knew he was wretched - wrstched could
be,
There was no one 90 wretchediy wretehsd Is
he.
His farm was too small, and his taxes too big;
be was selfish and lazy, and cross as pig:
His wife was too silly, his children too rude
And just because he was uncommonly good!
He hadn't got money enough to spare;
He had nothing At al At TO eat or TO wear;
He knew he was wretched az wretched could
be,
There was no one so wretchedly wretched -
he.
HIS OLD AGE
He finds he has sorrows moro deep than his
fears;
He grumbles to think he has gnlmblea for
years;
He grumbles TO think he has Erumbled away
his home and his children. his lifes little day;
But alas It's too latei It is no use to say
That his eyes are too dim, and his hair is too
He knows he is wretched as wretched can be.
There Is no one so wretchedly wretched 60 he.

She kept awake, I'm glad to say,
Till "fourthly" started on its way.
Then the moments into hours grew;
Oh dearl oh dear what should she dor
Unseen, she glided from the pew,
And up the aisle demurely went
On some absorbing mission bent,
Her eyes filled with q look intent
She stopped and said, In plaintive tone,
With hand uplifted toward the dome:

Tho Maid Across the Way.
There is a maid across the street.
In form and face extremely neat
With raven locks and tiny feet;
see her every day.
And yet she coldly looks on me,
And cares naught for my misery;
A cold and naughty maid is she,
The maid across the way.
No smile upon her face appears,
No glance OF love my sad heart cheers,
Though be bathed in SORROWS teaps,
And for affection pray.
No light OF love creeps in her eyes;
I've never seen her laugh or cry,
Though often may pass her By,
The maid across the way.
Her hair il like the ravens wing
She can not play, OF dance, or sing.
But In her nose she wears q ring
And is dressed in raiment gay.
Yet she is wooden to the core,
This Indian maid that stands before
The door OF the tobacco store
That's just across the way.

Years have passed since I was in
Preston Flat. Yet from reports know
1t Is rapidly growing into one of the
most prosperous portions of the Union.
A few days ago happened to glance
over the Bushville Courier, which some
unknown friend had sent me, and
there noticed an account of Mr.. David
Black and his son-in-law, John Miles.
shipping several hundred mead of cat
tie. So it seems that John Miles won
the beautiful Susie Black at last.
though we doubt if he ever entirely
mastered the English grammar.
The same paper states that Mr..
Walter Brownfield. of the firm of
Smallweed & Brownfield, bankers. had
been elected to the Legislature. That
he would be absent from Bushyille
during the winter. as he and his ae-
complished wife and three children
would start in few days for the capt.
tai.
The principal characters of our story
seem to be doing well. so we bid them
adieu.
